Haven’t posted one of these for a while so today’s retro Dons press cutting shows Joey Harper trying on one of his Scotland caps for size. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

The next issue of @afcheritage.bsky.social Black & Gold magazine is now available for preorder. As always it’s got loads of great writing by Dons fans about the history of our great club. firstdonsmatch.bigcartel.com/product/blac...

Supporters attending today’s match are advised to take note of the weather warnings in place across Scotland and make their own assessment when travelling to and from the stadium.   The Club will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide further updates should circumstances change.

The next issue of @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social is coming soon, and it will feature my article on a rather memorable (for the wrong reason!) match in Aberdeen’s history at the beginning of 1984.

Merry Christmas from us to you! Thank you for your support of the @afcheritage.bsky.social magazine. Here’s a wee peek of the cover for the next issue, featuring a very wintry scene, as Dick Donald surveys Pittodrie during the Dons’ abandoned fixture against St Johnstone on 3 January 1984.

Today’s retro Dons press cutting has Joey Harper with his arm in a stookie. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Another retro Dons press cutting showing Joey Harper ‘On target for a celebration’. Never seen Joe with a pint in his hand….😳 @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Today’s retro Dons press cutting features two of my favourite players from the mid 70s, Joey Harper and Arthur ‘Bumper’ Graham, resplendent in their iconic Admiral strips. Glorious. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Good news in today’s retro Dons press cutting as King Joey Harper indicates that he is staying with the club after some interest from ‘Common Market’ clubs. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Retrieved this from the loft the other day. Not seen it for many years. It’s a great read and would bring a tear to a glass eye. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

More retro Dons press cuttings from the same period as I posted the other day, I think. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Posted the last of my retro Dons #pinbadges archive yesterday so here’s the whole set for you to enjoy (or otherwise). @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Final one from my Dons #pinbadges archive is this absolute classic ‘Aberdeen FC - OK’. So seventies. Love it. All that’s missing is ‘ya bass..!!’ 😂 @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

There’s still some copies available online in the bio, plus a small number in the club shop.

Nothing quite like holding printed material in your own hands. Especially if it turns out to be @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social heading for #TheAberdeenCollection - always a grand read. #COYR

Retro Dons press cutting for today is ‘A show of the colours’ as Dons fans gather at the station to get their trains to the cup final. Not sure which year this could be….1967 ? @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Last but one from my Dons #pinbadges archive is this underwhelming effort. It’s a bit ‘meh’. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Another from my Dons #pinbadges archive and today it features the city crest. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Today’s retro Dons press cutting is an absolute classic showing the ‘Ultras Aberdeen’ of the day at the joint station heading for a cup final or something. “Aberdeen - cha cha cha”. Wild days..!! @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

A couple more to come from my Dons #pinbadges archive and today it’s another retro club crest. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Further to a previous post, today’s retro Dons press cutting is a Daily Record article about Joe Harper breaking the Aberdeen goal scoring record. Probably his forever, methinks. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Issue 21 is here! Will get copies in the post by the the weekend. It’s definitely one to look forward to, featuring not only these two legends on the cover, but the ten-goal debut of Toni Kombouare, Up Helly Aa’s Pittodrie connection & Graham Leggat’s 1955 LC final shirt. @afcheritage.bsky.social

Today’s wee classic from my Dons #pinbadges archive is another retro club crest. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Hey Liam! Willie wants a word about your pregame stat!

Remembering former CFC player Alex Jackson who passed away OTD in 1946. Alex is buried in Fayid War Cemetery, El Ismāʿīliya, Egypt. buff.ly/HZRUqsw

These won’t come as a surprise to you anymore seeing as I posted the whole collection the other day, but I’ll post them anyway. Today from my collection of Dons #pinbadges is this fairly average rosette style one. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social
